Sébastien Gauthier is the driving force behind all of the Montréal planetarium dome films. In fact, since his tenure nearly all of these experiences are now produced in-house and to critical acclaim. Because the 360° workflow is still in its infancy, he’s had to reinvent how stories are told; from building custom camera rigs, to developing new production pipelines, but always making it a point to blend the fields of art and science into captivating moments.

In many regards, Sébastien is Montréal’s Neil deGrasse Tyson. His passion for the cosmos and our place amongst the stars comes across the moment he opens his mouth and every second after that, you’re under his cosmic charm. One of the smartest, most capable, multidisciplinary humans we’ve ever met, Sébastien will navigate us across 360° landscapes of astronomic proportions!
